US search engine has new adverts
Paid ads for businesses will hover above their locations on the map in response to specific search requests, such as where to find a French restaurant in San Francisco, a hotel in London, or a movie theatre in Toronto.
Clicking a computer cursor on a balloon reveals details about the business and perhaps an image or a link to its website.
The "Adwords" feature is available for advertisers in Britain, Canada and the United States, Google said in a written release.
"Businesses can promote location-based products and services to users at the precise moment when they seek local information," according to Google.
